Child Care Subsidy


We pay this subsidy directly to your child care provider to reduce the fees you pay.


You may be eligible if you or your partner meet all of the following:

  • care for your child at least 2 nights per fortnight, or have 14% care
  • are liable for fees for care provided at an approved child care service
  • meet the residence rules.


Your child must also meet both of these:

If your child attends secondary school, you may still be eligible if they need supervision. They must be either:

  • 13 or under
  • 14 to 18 with disability.


In these circumstances, you must provide evidence why your child can’t be unsupervised. This may include evidence of your child’s disability. You also need to confirm an adult cannot care for your child during this time.


If we ask you to provide a statutory declaration it must be a commonwealth statutory declaration.


Each person that’s liable to pay child care fees will need to apply for this subsidy and meet these criteria.
